Where is Orwell when we need him to remind us. djf Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 13:05:51 -0800 To: State and Local Freedom of Information Issues From: Jim Warren Subject: why did TIME censor George H.W. Bush's quotes from its web-site?! >http://www.thememoryhole.org/mil/bushsr-iraq.htm On 21 September 2002, The Memory Hole posted an extract from an essay by George Bush Sr. and Brent Scowcroft, in which they explain why they didn't have the military push into Iraq and topple Saddam during Gulf War 1. Although there are differences between the Iraq situations in 1991 and 2002-3, Bush's key points apply to both. But a funny thing happened. Fairly recently, Time pulled the essay off of their site. It used to be at this link, which now gives a 404 error. If you go to the table of contents for the issue in which the essay appeared (2 March 1998), "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam" is conspicuously absent. Because of this erasure, we're posting the entire essay below the portion we originally excerpted. Below that, you'll find a copy of the actual page from the magazine ... Regards, A |

What articles of same or greater age have been left on line to prove that this one was explicitly pulled? Evidence please not the usual bollocks about "conspiracies" |

12 Nov 03 - 04:23 PM (#1052677) Subject: RE: BS: Newspeak Now!! Make History Conform! From: Wolfgang why did TIME censor George H.W. Bush's quotes from its web-site? Having now read that article I'd say at the request of the senior author. Which is lamentable for a couple of reasons but cannot be called 'censoring' in any sense of that word. Wolfgang |

Someone read his explanation at the last Howard Dean meet up. I'm sure the autobiography is still in print, and I'm sure the Shrub wishes it wasn't. |
